Windows 7: Nvidia networking Controller

Totally spaced out the fact you can do it via software .....

Can you run Windows update?

Thank you Dwarf the model is a K8Upgrade-NF3, The Chipset is Nvidia Nforce3 250, and the southbridge is Nvidia Nforce3 MCP

Hello Mike,

Can you post the exact details of your Network Chip/Card I am running with an nVidia NIC without issues. You may want to take a moment to complete your "my system Specs" in user Cp as this will make things easier to diagnose

Does that board have Vista drivers available for it? I did some quick looking around and noticed quite a few complaints on-line about not having vista drivers (folks were using XP drivers in place of it).

When I went to Nvidia's site, I they didn't seem to have a driver for the nforce3 systems - just Nforce Pro 3000 (I don't think they are the same thing).

You might be out of luck - I hope I'm wrong.

Now one thing to note about this problem for me, is if I shut down my system, then powered off the PSU, then turned everything back on and restarted the system, the NICs showed back up. Can you try the same thing?

Slightly off topic Thread has been tidied up due to duplicated posts / thread

Thank you for the help Barman the motherboard model is a K8Upgrade-NF3, The Chipset is Nvidia Nforce3 250, and the southbridge is Nvidia Nforce3 MCP All work fine with Vista

Hi the Lan Chip on this board is a Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100 Ethernet ... drivers for this for vista are here ...
